WM 29 Buyrate

evidently the early figures are WAY below expectations, and according to the source "downright shocking"

this should be music to anyones ears who is not a kool-aid drinking fanboy.

it will be interesting to see if they change course at all up until the official buyrate is released, and their response afterwards.

if the buyrate is that low, vince will have no choice but to wake up and smell the coffee per say regarding his theory that the matches and talent sell, not stories and build. and also break his crutch of relying on part time stars to main event the biggest show of the year.

no doubt there will be a major reaction if the buyrate is in fact that low...hopefully it will be for the better.

No wonder ROH isn't going anywhere.

OT:

I don't think it'll be 'downright shocking' level low. Probably somewhere in the million, million point one range, instead of the 1.3.

One have to look at the factors for why the buy rate most likely lower then the 1.3 million...
1. the price increase...
2. the USA barely escaping the Fiscal Cliff and many countries including the USA is coming out of a depression or recession or what ever one want to call it..
3. the build of the show and matches... they had a month and a half to build the show up most of the upper matches wasn't known until the 1st Raw of MARCH or there after....
4. the outcome of some matches...

We all judge others even if it isn't our place to judge, but supposedly at the end we are all judged by one!!!
Wrestling, women and money who could ask for more???

Yes and dont forget how many watched online...tried to watch online...and the refunds that are bound to be figured in there somewhere...at least the refunds that some will get...sorry I have not paid for a PPV since 2005...

I think it's because we've seen all the matches already, especially John Cena Vs The Rock. There wasn't that big of a reason to buy the card. I mean I liked the matches but since Del Rio and Swagger was the only main match that did not happen before, that this WM was not going to do to well. Shame.

I purchased every WM since 9... but I did not buy this one. You can't throw WM stories together in 3-4 weeks and think you have compelling storylines. Just stupid on the part of the WWE and WWE Creative. I mean, I like Fandango as much as the next guy, but he had no business being on the WM card. I think the WWE greatly over estimated the appeal of Cena being a no-brainer winner before the PPV even started. The appeal of Brock v HHH and the appeal of Del Rio v Thwagger.
